Filip Topol, the late frontman of the legendary Czech rock band Psí vojáci (Dog Warriors), was born 60 years ago this week, on June 12, 1965. He gave his first performance in the spring of 1978 at the cottage of then-dissident Václav Havel. That same year, he founded Psí vojáci with two of his classmates. In the early 1980s, the band clashed with the authorities and was limited to performing at illegal underground events. After the fall of communism, however, they became a major force on the Czech rock scene. This edition of Sunday Music Show pays tribute to the charismatic songwriter, singer, and pianist.
